Hi fed friends. A few things to keep in mind: Keep an eye out for new software on your computers Assume that your gov devices are being monitored Assume calls are being recorded and chats reviewed Ok. Have a great paranoia-free evening! But seriously. Be smart. Keep calm and carry on. ☕

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

I appreciate Democrats doing something but also want to see this same energy taking on how Musk’s extreme actions at Treasury may threaten the Social Security of working Americans. Democrats have to connect the dots on why Musk is doing this and how it could hit our pocketbooks.

All of this from @pastpunditry.bsky.social. The crisis is not legible. Even politically attentive people have no idea - the media are not conveying the scope and magnitude of what's happening. It has to be made legible through political and institutional resistance, not passivity and resignations.

Time to accept that we simply have a mad king. The guy slapping 25% tariffs on Canada's postage while calling for its annexation - and releasing scarce water into the Central Valley to fight already-contained fires in LA - isn't doing a bit or pursuing a secret, rational strategy
